2 Claims.

es to improvements in antiis particularly well adapted automobile car of our invention is to provide of our inventi ed and clai -rattler is retained t the use of screws,

on is the provithe anti ti-rattle in tains it securely therein. The novel features of our invention are heremed.

In the accompanying drawing illustrative of our invention,

Fig. 1 is a reduced elevation car door and the J'amb to which ing two of our improved anti the iamb.

-ratt of a portion of a it is hinged, showlers mounted in Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevation of our improved anti-rattler shown mounted in operative position in a door jamb, part of which is shown in vertical section.

tion and partly in proved anti-rattler s door jamb and provi ded with the Fig. 3 is an enlarged view, partly in side elevafiller collar.

Fig. 4 shows our improved anti-rattler reduced and in side elevation and shown mounted in the rumble seat portion section.

Fig. 5 is a reduced tion and part] proved anti-rattler mounted in tion of a car door of a car sh jamb.

own in vertical Fig. 6 is an enlarged view, partly in elevation and partly in vertical section, showing our immounted in a proved anti-rattler car door with the plunger engaging the door jamb.

Fig. 7 is an enlarged plan view of ing three equally spaced arms.

Fig. 8 is a section a collar havon the line 88 of Fig. 7.

Similar characters of reference designate similar parts in the difierent views.

1 designates a support or casing comprising a tube having a closed inner end 3 outer end portior 4 of a plunge of which is s r, the enlarged lidably fitted in Kans.

and 6, the support or-casing 1 is adapted to be extended into a hole support 1 is provided at its outer ular peripheralfiange 17 against in Figs. 1, 2

plungers 4, each of which being pressed outwardly by the coil spring 5 in the casing 1, exerts a pressure tending to force the door 19 away from the J'amb 8, thus preventmg'rattling of the door,

and, when the door is opened, assisting in such opening.

In Fig. 4, the rumble seat door 20, when closed, depresses the plunger 4 against the pressure of its spring 5, thus preventing the door rattling against the jamb 9,

' In Fig. 5, the door 21 in closing has its lower curved corner depress the plunger 4 against the pressure of the adjacent spring 5, whereby the door is lifted and forced away from the jamb In Fig. 6 in which the casing 1 is inserted in the hole 13 of the door 14, when the latter is closed, the plunger 4 is struck by the jamb 8 and forced inwardly against the pressure of the. adjacent coil spring 5, thus forcing the door away from the jamb, preventing the door rattling and assisting in the opening movement of the door.

In cases where the space between the door and the jamb is too great to obtain proper compression of the coil spring 5, we provide a filler collar or washer 22 which encircles the casing 1 between the flange 17 and the collar 15 and which bears against the said flange and collar so as to hold the casing 1 with the plunger 4 in its proper relative position.

Various modifications of our invention, within the scope of the appended claims, may be made without departing from the spirit of our invention.

income What we claim is:-

1. In an anti-rattler for doors, the combination with a support adapted for insertion into a. recess in one of two cooperating members comprising a door and. a door frame, a plunger reciprocative on said support, and means normally forcing said plunger to a position in which it is adapted for pushing engagement with the other of said members, of a member adapted for insertion between and to have holding engagement with said' support and the wall of said recess.

2. In an anti-rattler for doors, the combination with a support having a peripheral flange and adapted for insertion into a recess in one of two cooperating members comprising a door and a door frame, a plunger reciprocative onsaid support, and means normally forcing said plunger to a position in which it is adapted to have pushing engagement with the other of said members, of a collar adapted to encircle said support and to abut against the member having said recess and having a portion adapted for insertion-between and to have holding engagement with said support and the wall of said recess, and a filler collar adapted to encircle said support between and to bear against said flange and against said; first named collar.
